The Waiting

By Tracy Satchwill 2026

Photography by Marie-Laurence Boisvert

The Waiting is a site-responsive installation exploring feminine presence, transformation and the quiet power of an uncanny gathering.

Created for the Raveningham Sculpture Trail, seven hybrid female figures gather beneath a circle of cherry trees, accompanied by suspended ceramic fragments, bells and delicate strands of thread. 

Rather than illustrating a single narrative, The Waiting imagines a gathering of hybrid feminine figures whose presence is quietly bound to the surrounding landscape. Neither entirely human nor entirely creature, they suggest relationships between women, plants, animals and place, proposing a world where feminine presence is inseparable from the living landscape.
